Okay, so I've always believed cedar was toxic to tarantulas, but now I'm reading that it's toxic to insects, not arachnids? Does anyone have any scientific sources?
I'm worried because my house is undergoing some remodeling and a few walls are being covered in cedar planks(?) like this:
Anyway, the entire floor smells like cedar. My room with all my tarantulas and spiders is on the other side of the house on the same floor, but if I leave my door open, the smell gets in.
Right now, I sealed my door, opened my windows, and placed some fans to blow air outside. The smell is pretty much gone from my room, but how dangerous can this be? If the smell goes away over time from the house, is it safe, or will the danger stay so long as the wood is present?
*(I have a second door in my room that leads to my bathroom, which has a door that leads to an office, which has a door that leads back to the rest of the house lol, so that's my way of getting in and out right now while my main door is sealed lol)
